Before and After Monday

For those curious as to the advantages of HDR, this is a good example. There would be no way using conventional photography to get a shot like this. Either the boat would be properly exposed and the sky would be blown out, or the sky would look good and the boat would just be a silhouette.

The After

The Befores

I didn't really have to do much processing to these after creating the HDR in Photomatix. I just had to bring in the middle, (0) exposure image and mask in some of the clouds. The HDR process can sometimes make them too dark in spots. I see some things that I would do different now, but I guess I could say that about all of my older photos.
